This raid went on for more than 18 hours. 45 people were present, just for the counting of the notes. In all, a total of 1.6 crore Rs were recovered in cash. The other assets ( gold, etc) were separate.
But this raid had happened peacefully. So what is the violence they are showing in the trailer? Well, we are guessing, that this aspect of the story has been taken from another incident, from the same decade.
There was another income tax raid on 14th September, 1989, on the factories and homes of two industrialists- paper mill owner Harish Chhabra and jewellery dealer Chitranjan Swarup. Around 88 officers were tasked with finding the black money/assets with these two gentlemen, approximated around 2 crores.
